Data Component Implementation

Definition

Data component implementation is the subactivity consisting of the cohesive collection of all all tasks that are primarily performed to implement one or more data components.

Goals

The goals of data component implementation are to:

• Acquire any commercial data components.
• Implement individual data components.

Objectives

The objectives of data component implementation are to:

• Acquire any COTS data components.
• Build the data component in accordance with the associated design.
• Deliver the components to the integration team for deployment on the integration environment.

Examples

Examples of data component implementation include:

• Acquiring a commercially available data component
• Constructing a data component from scratch
• Creating a data component from existing reusable data

Preconditions

Data component implementation typically may begin when the following preconditions hold:

• The software development team is initially staffed and adequately trained in the relevant data implementation tasks.

Completion Criteria

Data component implementation is typically complete when the following postconditions hold:

• The data component exists and has been delivered to the integration team.
